Bose's ultracomfortable on-ear headphone gets a slight makeover

2014-08-08
this is the bose soundtrue on-ear headphone the rebranded version of the company's popular o2i headphone it carries a list price of one 7995 but costs around a hundred and fifty dollars online hi I'm David Carr noise and I'd like to tell you that Bose has improved the sound of the headphone but alas the changes are really just cosmetic with this new model coming in new more eye-catching colors that are perhaps designed to appeal to a younger headphone shopper Bose also makes a larger around-ear sound true model and both of these headphones are among the most comfortable in their categories their sound is good - that you can find competing models that deliver arguably better sound for the money aside from being very comfortable for an on-air model what I've always liked about this headphone is how light it is and how it folds up into a very small case that fits easily in your bag when traveling it's a great travel headphone though it does let some sound in and doesn't feature any sort of noise canceling circuitry of boses quiet comfort models as for features the headphone cord is detachable and that cord has an integrated three button remote and microphone for making cell phone calls this is an Apple friendly model so not all the remote features will work with Android and Windows phones as I said this headphone sounds good and delivers smooth generally well balanced fairly open sound this is a pleasant headphone to listen to but not necessarily an exciting one and it doesn't offer the refined detail that a more expensive model like the bear dynamic t51p offers nor is it as forward or aggressive as the beats solo2 which pushes the bass and treble more all that said it's what I like to call a safe headphone in that it makes most music and most music sources sound decent so I think that as long as you're not expecting audiophile grade sound quality most people should be pretty pleased with the sound and around $150 I wouldn't call this a bargain but does offer an excellent combination of comfort and decent sound in a lightweight foldable design that travels well I'm David Carlo and that's the bose soundtrue on-ear thanks for watching
